Re: John Deere 60 repair
That sounds really good! By the time JD was building the 50/60 series tractors, they were much more refined than previous models and can be seen in the smoothness of your 60 projects idle.

Re: John Deere 60 repair
for the kind comments. I need to make a change in the wiring for the alternator. As it is right now it feeds back and keeps the coil powered up so the tractor doesn't shut off with the switch. Had to pull one wire off the alternator to kill it. I'll be adding a pressure switch to separate the alt. from the coil power at the switch. I think the same thing can be accomplished with a diode also, but I am more familiar with the pressure switch setup.

Re: John Deere 60 repair
The diode is super simple and costs almost nothing. All you have to do is add it to the wire that is already there.

Re: John Deere 60 repair
Since I already had the pressure switch in hand I went ahead and installed it. The tractor shuts off with the switch now and in the process, it got a new oil line to replace the old rust pitted one. Next time I run into this I will try putting in a diode.

Re: John Deere 60 repair
Got a new water pump, painted it up, installed it, and found it has a casting flaw that leaks water. With haying started now I just won't have much time for this project, so my cousin said to run it over to his place and he can finish it up when a new pump arrives. He is right across the road so I was able to run it over on the small remote tank. I drove it around in the driveway for a short shakedown cruise to check for any other leaks. Now I need to get his John Deere 40 hood painted now that my paint booth doesn't have a tractor parked in it.

The tractor sounds great and should be a real workhorse for your cousin!

When he gets it all back together he wants to plow up a 4 acre field so I will try to get some video of it working.
